I forced myself to move away from him, even though I wanted nothing more than to curl up in his arms and stay there forever. He was like a huge security blanket; I wanted to wrap myself up in him and let him shield me from the rest of the world.

He ran his hand through his hair, making it stick up on end. For once he looked disheveled, his shirt not tucked in properly, the top buttons undone. I was used to him always being so in control, but right now he looked wild, fierce.

“Why did you stop giving Nick money? Did you decide enough was enough?” It would have been fair enough if he had. I wish he’d never offered Nick money in the first place, then he might not have bothered with the farce of pretending he wanted a little family. But stopping that money had set things in motion.

“I didn’t mean to.”

What did that mean?

“I was shot. My cousin attempted to kill me to take over the family business.”

“Um, okay.” I literally didn’t know what to say to that. “You know that sounds like an episode of The Sopranos right?”

He smiled tightly. “I guess it does. Theo got to him before he could finish me off. But he’d shot me in the head. There was a lot of swelling, and the doctors put me in an induced coma. I had set my cousin the task of watching over you. He would report back to me that Nick was taking care of you and then I would have someone deposit cash in his account. If anything ever happened, I didn’t want a trail leading back to you. I never thought about something happening to me. Or that my cousin might betray me. I should have kept an eye on you myself.”

Regret filled his face. “That bastard lied to me. He told me you were still living at your parents when you must have already moved. He’s also the one who looked into Nick. I trusted him.”

I had the urge to reach over and touch him, ease some of the betrayal and pain I heard in his voice, but I held back.

“By the time I came out of the coma, no one knew where you were. Not even Cassie.”

I grimaced. “She’s never going to let me forget that.”

“I should have done a better job of looking after you. I’ve been searching for you ever since. Mace finally found Nick. I decided to fly in to have a chat with him.”

I wondered what a chat involved.

“That’s some interesting timing.” I closed my eyes briefly. I was so tired.

“Come on, baby. Let’s go home.”
